The Sandman S2

The adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s dark fantasy novels returns for its second and final season, culminating in a dramatic conclusion that explores forgiveness, legacy, and the cost of immortality. For those who need a quick refresh on this one: The Sandman fuses ancient mythology, folklore, and literary references as it reimagines gods, archetypes, and historical figures like Orpheus, Lucifer, and Shakespeare. The story is told through a character known as “Dream” – a cosmic being who governs imagination and memory. In Season 2, we meet Destiny, Delirium, and Destruction, completing “the pantheon of cosmic siblings.” You don’t need to read the graphic novels before watching the Netflix series, but you will want to start from the beginning. EW created a guide to prep viewers for Season 1.
